What is the Lightscape experience?
Visitors to Lightscape make their way along a winding trail through Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne’s landscape, awash in artistic lighting design. Along the way, they’ll encounter large lighting sculptures, colourful lighting effects and an accompanying soundscape.
Ticket times are staggered so groups can comfortably stroll the trail with family and friends.
The only entrance for Lightscape in 2024 is via Observatory Gate near the Visitor Centre, opposite the Shrine of Remembrance.
First and last session times vary over the course of the season. Last entry will be 10 minutes after the last advertised session start time for that day. Please ensure you check the session times for the day you wish to attend.
